These garden design planting plans are for the raised sleeper beds we have just installed in Shrewsbury. The herbaceous borders will provide a wealth of colour throughout the year, with an evergreen backbone of shrubs and trees.

The perennials planted amongst these shrubs will provide an uplift in colour from May through to October, whilst the deciduous shrubs will also come into leaf and flower throughout the season.

There is a sensory palette to this planting plan which the client can enjoy at every turn, and this will only improve as the garden matures over time.

The edging plants - Erigeron karvinskianus, Persicaria 'Darjeeling Red', Geranium spp. - will as they mature lip over the edge of the sleepers softening their linear form.

This large exposed garden in Burley in Wharfedale, West Yorkshire has undergone a wonderful transformation to one which is a functional, enjoyable and filled with colour.

Before we lent our creative eye to this 1000 M/2 garden it was an undualting verdant green with a few poorly placed shrubs. The lack of interest within the garden meant that the views were borrowed from the surounding fields, something which we were keen to address.

Split into three distinct areas, planted with banks of vibrant perennial planting schemes, this garden is filled with seasonal colour, combining well with the modern extension.

The Rolawn medallion turf provides a wonderful contrast leading the eye throughout this garden.

The Bellagio garden furniture ensures that the clients can relax in their garden enjoying the summer sun, surrounded by bees and butterflies which flutter through the perennial planting schemes.

This is our concept design for the Shrewsbury Flower Show's Vintage theme this year. The polaroid features a recently completed rose heart garden for Shooters Hill Hall, with Peter Walker's sculpture 'constructing the horse' at its core.
